Type material.
Holotype: ♀ (IZCAS-Ar41977), Nepal, Baghmati District, Mude, Rhododendron, along the way F032, 27.69°N, 85.94°E, ca. 2653 m, 23.III.2019, C. Shrestha leg. Paratype: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar41978), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
Pimoa mude sp. nov. resembles those of P. daman sp. nov. (Fig. 6A-D View Figure 6 ) and P. zhigangi sp. nov. (Fig. 53A-D View Figure 53 ) but can be distinguished from the nearly oval spermathecae separated by a short distance (Fig. 30A View Figure 30 ) (vs. triangular, unseparated in P. daman sp. nov. and nearly round, separated by ca. 1/2 width of a spermatheca in P. zhigangi sp. nov.) and also distinguished from P. daman sp. nov. by the narrow ventral plate (Fig. 30A View Figure 30 ) (vs. wider), from P. zhigangi sp. nov. by the distally narrow ventral plate (Fig. 30A View Figure 30 ) (vs. broad), and by the distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 30B View Figure 30 ) (vs. pointed).
Description.
Female (holotype): Total length 6.25. Carapace 3.06 long, 2.66 wide. Abdomen 3.19 long, 2.63 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.18, ALE 0.21, PME 0.17, PLE 0.22; AME-AME 0.10, AME-ALE 0.15, PME-PME 0.17, PME-PLE 0.22. Leg measurements: I: 22.18 (6.31, 7.28, 6.00, 2.59); II: 18.63 (5.38, 6.25, 4.97, 2.03); III: 13.75 (4.37, 4.13, 3.69, 1.56); IV: 17.70 (5.39, 5.84, 4.69, 1.78).
